You can reproduce enterprise structures in the business partner hierarchy.
The system generates a mail for every change made to this hierarchy. This mail is then sent to particular employees.
You should maintain a distribution list here. This distribution list contains all employees who are to be informed of the change to the hierarchy.

  • Ouput determination procedure (OutputDeterminationProcedure)
    The change notification is generated using output control. Therefore, the respective output determination procedure should have been maintained here (e.g.: JGHAEN).
    You should already have created the output determination procedure
    Basic Functions->Output Determination->Output Determination in Advertising Management->Master Data Output-> Maintain output determination procedure
  • Hierarchy change notification distribution list (HierChgeDistr)
    Each change to the business partner hierarchy is made known by mail to a particular person subgroup.
    This person subgroup should be defined using a distribution list.
    The name of the distribution list should be maintained here.
    You must have created the distribution list first.
    You must enter the name of the distribution list in the HCN DL field.

    The process of creating a distribution list is described below.
  • Hierarchy change notification template (HierChgeNott template)
    This standard text for business partner hierarchy activities (Delete, Insert and Change) is used to maintain the texts that are actually entered in the mail for each change made.
    A corresponding text module should exist and be maintained here.
    (You will find an example of the content of this standard text in Further notes)
    The mail'framework' can be editied in Basic Functions->Output Determination->Output Determination in Advertising Management->Master Data Output-> Maintain output types.
  • Temporary standard text for a variable number of hierarchy change notifications (Tmp.Textelem HiCgMsg)
    The list of hierarchy change notifications is generated in this standard text. If output control is then used to send a mail to all employees entered in the distribution list, this text module will be included in the mail. This allows you to generate a mail that can contain a list with a variable length.
    You must enter a valid name of a standard text here. This standard text should not have been created.

Further notes

  • Definition of a distribution list
    1. Create a folder in Shared Folders
      Office->Folders-> Shared Folders
      Folder->Create (Transaction so04)
      is used to create a folder with distribution lists
      e.g.: Type: FOL
      Name: IS-PAM:DLI
      Title: Distribution list
      Target folder: SHARED FOLDERS
      You can define access authorizations for this folder.
    2. Create distribution list
      Select the folder you have created.
      Folder->Choose is used to display the content of the folder.
      You can now define a distribution list for this folder.
      Document->Create->(Without reference)
      Type: DLI
      Title: Hierarchy change notification distribution list
      Change options: Modifiable
      NAME: DLI:GPHIERAE (Note: Enter in the HCN DL field)
      You can now maintain all employees in the list displayed to whom a
      a mail should be sent.
      Choose save (F11).
